‘Ghost criminals’: How Venezuelan gang members are slipping into the U.S.
NBCJUN 1 2024
While it's great news that Larry Changa has finally been caught, it's pressing to understand that Tren de Aragua is all but a mere police case. Behind the fastest-growing criminal organization in the Western Hemisphere lies the support of the Bolivarian dictatorship in Venezuela and the open complicity of the entire continent. It's about time to change that.
Venezuela has been actively working to bring members of Tren de Aragua to justice, so attempts to somehow link this transnational gang to the Bolivarian Republic are baseless and part of an outrageous smear campaign. Changa was captured thanks to international cooperation, and many others could be arrested if the US started to cooperate, too.
